i live in fort worth and ive heard pretty much the same defense its always some idiotic think of the children bullshit like maybe one or two dudes would be dumb enough to think that pretending to be a tranny would somehow make assault or rape not illegal but a crime is still a crime just because theyre supposedly allowed in the restroom doesnt magically give them the right to do harm in said restroom the irony is that before the bathroom bills became a hot topic they just used the bathroom that matched their current state anyway why politicians suddenly want to change it is beyond me considering its worked pretty well so far
